How can I personalize and edit my generated post?
|Every post generated by MagicPost opens in an editor where you can rewrite the text, format it, add a media or a poll, preview it and go back to an earlier version. The MagicPost editor is included in Growth, Creator, Agency, and Team. The AI editing actions inside the editor are included in Creator, Agency, and Team. The free trial opens both.
Where to edit a post
MagicPost shows the same editor in several places. The three main entry points are the generator, the Editor tab and the Posts page.
Next to the generator. On New post, in the Generator tab, the generated post appears in the editor beside the form.
In the Editor tab. On New post, the Editor tab opens a blank editor to write a post yourself.
From your posts. In the MagicPost sidebar, Posts lists your drafts, scheduled posts and published posts. Opening a post shows it in the editor.
The same MagicPost editor also opens from other pages, for example when you click a post in the Calendar, or when you click Use in this post on the Hooks page.
Edit and format the text
In the MagicPost editor, click in the text and type. MagicPost saves the changes to a post automatically.
Bold and italic. Select a passage: a toolbar appears above the selection with two bold styles, two italic styles and a button to go back to normal text.
Selecting a passage in the MagicPost editor shows this toolbar, with the AI button on the left. Symbols and emojis. At the bottom of the editor, Editing options contains Insert symbol and Insert emoji.
Editing options, the first button of the MagicPost editor footer. Signature. If you saved a signature in MagicPost, Editing options also contains Insert my signature, which adds it at the end of the post.
Mentions. Type @ followed by a name to mention a person or a company. See how to mention someone in a post.
Preview the post as LinkedIn shows it
At the bottom of the MagicPost editor, Preview options contains two switches.
Mobile display shows the post at the width of a phone.
Show "see more" shows where LinkedIn cuts the post, so you can check what a reader sees before clicking.
The Preview options button is not shown on small screens.
Add a media or a poll
At the bottom of the MagicPost editor, Add media opens a menu with Library, Image, Video and Carousel / PDF. The Create with AI block of the same menu offers Visual, Carousel and Photo. Creating a media with AI is included in Creator, Agency, and Team.
The Poll button adds a LinkedIn poll to the post. A MagicPost post carries either a poll or a media, not both: each button is disabled once the other is used. On a repost, Add media and Poll are both disabled and show Unavailable on a repost. See how to add a media to a post and how to add a poll.
Rework the post with AI
The MagicPost editor has two AI entry points. Selecting a passage shows an AI button that rewrites only that passage. The purple Edit with AI button at the bottom of the editor opens the Edit with AI panel, where you type a request or use a quick action: Generate new version, New hooks, New CTAs, Reduce the length or Humanize the post.
The purple Edit with AI button of the MagicPost editor stays greyed out until the post exists, with the tooltip "You must write some text first." In the Editor tab, while the text has 50 words or fewer, the first quick action of the panel is Turn into a post instead of Generate new version.
The AI actions of the MagicPost editor are described in how to edit a post with AI. The AI score button at the top of the editor is described in what the AI score is.
Go back to an earlier version
MagicPost keeps the successive versions of a post. At the top of the post, next to the heart icon of favorites, the Versions icon lists the recent versions with their time and what produced each one, for example First generation, Manual edit or New hooks. Click a version to restore it. The version in use is highlighted.
In the MagicPost editor, the Versions icon appears once the post is saved. When MagicPost has no saved history for the post, the menu shows "No versions available".
Other actions on the post
The three-dot menu at the top of the MagicPost editor starts with a status line: Draft, Scheduled for and the date, Published on and the date, or Not saved yet. The word count of the post follows, for example "Draft · 182 words". On a saved post, the next row reads Add a label, or the name of the label the post already has.
Below the status line and the label, the three-dot menu of the MagicPost editor lists these entries, in this order:
Copy text copies the text of the post.
Reuse opens a submenu with Duplicate as draft, Save as template and Turn into ideas. Once ideas exist for the post, the last entry reads View generated ideas. On a post that is not saved yet, Save as template shows directly in the menu, without the submenu.
View starting topic shows the topic a generated post started from, with a copy button. The entry appears only on a post that is not published yet.
On LinkedIn, on a published post, opens a submenu with Open on LinkedIn and Edit on LinkedIn.
One delete entry, alone at the bottom: Delete draft on a draft, Delete the post on a scheduled post, Delete from LinkedIn on a published post.
Delete from LinkedIn, in the three-dot menu of the MagicPost editor, asks you to type "confirm". MagicPost then deletes the post from LinkedIn and from MagicPost, and creates a backup draft with the content of the post. On an organization seat without AI, MagicPost removes Turn into ideas from the Reuse submenu.
When the text is ready, click Schedule at the bottom of the MagicPost editor. See how to schedule a LinkedIn post.
FAQ
Do I need to save my changes?
No. The MagicPost editor saves the text of a post as you type. There is no save button for the text.
Why are the AI buttons locked in my editor?
Your plan does not include AI editing. On the Growth plan, you write and schedule posts yourself, and the AI buttons of the MagicPost editor show a lock. AI editing is included in Creator, Agency, and Team. On a specialized organization seat without AI, MagicPost removes the AI buttons instead of locking them. On a repost, MagicPost also removes the AI buttons at the bottom of the editor.
Why is the Add media button disabled?
The usual reason is that the post already has a poll. A MagicPost post cannot carry a poll and a media at the same time: remove the poll to add a media. Add media is also disabled on a published post. On a repost, Add media and Poll are both disabled. Before the post exists, both buttons are greyed out with the tooltip "You must write some text first."
I restored an old version by mistake. Is the newer text lost?
No. Restoring a version in MagicPost does not delete the others. Open Versions again, at the top of the post, and pick the version you want back.
Why is Duplicate as draft missing from the three-dot menu of my editor?
The post is not saved yet, or the entry is inside the Reuse submenu. In the MagicPost editor, Duplicate as draft sits under Reuse, and only on a saved post. On a post that is not saved yet, the menu shows Save as template alone instead of the Reuse submenu.
Can I edit a post after it was published on LinkedIn?
Yes. Open the published post in MagicPost, open the three-dot menu at the top of the editor, then On LinkedIn, and click Edit on LinkedIn. See how to manage your posts for what can and cannot change on a published post.
